MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2013 series




5014 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
5014/22 Paper 2, maximum raw mark 60


This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of
the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners meeting before marking began,
which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers.

Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner
Report for Teachers.



Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.



Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2013 series for most IGCSE,
GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level
components.

(ii) forestry; most mature trees harvested/eq/deforestation; [2]

(iii) livestock; value of product has declined relative to other forms of production/eq; [2]


(b) (i) increase demand; increase in population; increase in income/reduction of poverty;
increased urbanisation; increased exports; increased costs of production/inflation; [2]

(ii) 2800; 4270; [2]

animals drink here; unfit for human consumption; dense housing; poor quality housing;
AVP; [3]

(ii) advantage: close to customers; can sell more milk /more quickly before it goes off/eq;

disadvantage: have to rely on other farmers for fodder/pay high(er) prices for fodder; due
to cost of transport; (any 2) [2]

(iii) flooding qualified e.g. buffalo drown; buffalo waste enters waterway; bacteria multiply in
water; water not fit to drink; buffalo get infected/die eq; malaria/eq; breeding mosquitoes;
typhoid; dengue fever; yellow fever; diarrhoea; ground drinking water polluted; damage
to houses/property; [3]

(iv) other fuels not available; dung free/very cheap; [1]

(v) minerals/organic matter not returned to the land; soil is less fertile/eq; [1]


(d) (i) risks to human health bronchitis/ARIs; smoke = air pollution; encourages
deforestation; heating food inefficient; food contaminated; [2]

(ii) long lasting; low maintenance; reliable source of heat/eq; investment is paid back; land
does not loose nutrients/minerals/fertility; no/little impact on the environment/renewable
fuel; AVP; [4]

2 (a) (i) jobs; solves power shortages now; sulfur can be removed with new technology;
improves technical skills of workforce; allows increase in GDP/eq; [2]

(ii) C B E D; [1]

(iii) malnutrition/poor nutrition; such as lack of vitamins/minerals or named example;
(deficiency) diseases such as kwashiorkor; lack of (first class) protein in diet; lack of
energy/calories; [2]

(iv) very little difference between villages AE; even though their water supply is not equally
polluted/eq; no difference between village 50 km away for cancers; or mental disorders;

number of males/females; all ages represented; use exactly the same questionnaire;
stratified random or systematic sampling/described; [3]


(b) (i) measure an exact quantity of coal dust/make sure it is spread evenly; [1]

(ii) growth is reduced stems shorter; and leaves come out more slowly/less leaves; [2]

(iii) flower production; seed production; length of leaves; size of leaves; number of stomata;
thickness of stem; number of branches; life expectancy of plants; [2]

(iv) less light to leaves/green parts; so less photosynthesis/molecules for growth; [2]


(c) (i) yes: more species/biodiversity further away from source of dust; [1]

(ii) south/west; more dust blown there; by prevailing wind; [2]


(d) in favour: need to produce more electricity now; to help raise standard of
living/GDP/improve services; no evidence of serious pollution; tree species will recover
when mining finished; solves problem within the country; provides jobs; AVP

against: some air pollution is inevitable; solution will not last long; poor quality of life for
people living near mines; vegetation will take a long time to recover; does not provide
many jobs; maintain biodiversity; AVP; [4]
